About Google Cloud VPN
Google Cloud VPN is a managed Google Cloud service for connecting a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network with on-premises networks, other VPC networks, or peer networks in other cloud environments through encrypted IPsec site-to-site tunnels. It offers HA VPN gateways for redundant, dynamic BGP connections and Classic VPN gateways for static-routing configurations. Teams can configure gateways and tunnels in the Google Cloud console, Google Cloud CLI, or Compute Engine API, then monitor tunnel status and metrics. Cloud VPN supports IPv4 and, with HA VPN, IPv6; it can work with Cloud Router for dynamic route exchange and interoperate with compatible third-party VPN gateways that support IPsec and IKE. It is designed for private network connectivity, not client-to-gateway remote access or routing traffic to the public internet. Pricing is usage-based and includes gateway tunnel-hours and data transfer.
